Dove - Y3/4
Welcome to Dove!
We are a mixed class from years 3&4 and you will find us in the KS2 corridor, in the classroom nearest the hall.
Our teacher is Miss Debbie Moore and our teaching assistants are Mrs McGrath and Mrs Fisher.
We have been so, so busy with our learning during our ‘Incredible Me, Incredible You’ topic that it is hard to believe we are only six weeks into the term! Our new theme, beginning this week, is ‘Our Wonderful World’.
We have already begun this exciting topic by beginning to research the use of non-biodegradable materials as a class. This is linked to our writing focus, in which we will be creating information texts about the use of plastics.
In Science, we will be approaching the theme of ‘Our Wonderful World’ by investigating the habitats of various plants and animals and considering the human impact on these environments. We will also investigate what we could do to improve how well Fitzmaurice cares for our school grounds.
In Geography, the children will develop their map, atlas and globe skills in order to discover more about the world around them.
For our DT project, the children will be creating a nature-inspired sculpture, using recycled materials. There will be a particular focus upon choosing materials which are best suited for our project and exploring ways in which we can attach these.
Watch this space for photographs of our recycled materials project!

Swimming/Forest Schools
Swimming and Forest School will take place on a Wednesday morning on the following dates:
Forest School:

Children will need a spare change of clothes, including a long sleeve top and long trousers. They will also need a pair of wellies or old trainers, which they don't mind getting muddy. If you want to send your child in wearing their forest school clothes this is fine, but they must have their school uniform to change into for the afternoon.
